Title: achieve strecth properties with your plastisols ( as seen in printwear.com sept
Post by: mraph on December 21, 2012, 08:37:51 PM

 Here are a few ways to improve stretch capabilities with plastisol inks:

1. Ensure there is a sufficient ink deposit. If the ink film cracks when stretched, it is a sign of improper cure and fusion.

2. Most ink manufacturers have stretch additives that work very nice. It’s important to note here that it’s always a good idea to pre-test garments before a production run as well.

3. Use a fast-fusion clear as an under base. These clears have tremendous stretch properties and allow top layers to achieve maximum stretch as well.
